About
Henrik Wivel is one of Denmark's leading art critics and cultural writers. His knowledge of visual arts, film and literature is unsurpassed- his pen always elegant and precise. In 2014, the author published the critically acclaimed "Shadow Life". Also "Time Light" revolves around nature, Christianity and the longing for the eternal or transcendent, as expressed in 12 works of art. Each chapter is opened by a work of art history- known or less known - from Byzantine icons over German high romance and Danish golden age classics to the explosive modern as well as natural scenes from the author's own archive. First and foremost, Wivel opens with very personal memoir essays. Henrik Wivel er en af Danmarks førende kunstkritikere og kulturskribenter. Hans viden om billedkunst, film og litteratur er uovertruffen - hans pen altid elegant og præcis. I 2014 udgav forfatteren den anmelderroste "Skyggeliv". Også "Tidslys" kredser om natur, kristendom og længslen efter det evige eller overskridende, som det udtrykkes i 12 kunstværker. Hvert kapitel åbnes af et værk fra kunsthistorien - kendt eller mindre kendt - fra byzantinske ikoner over tysk højromantik og danske guldalderklassikere til det formsprængende moderne samt naturscener fra forfatterens eget arkiv. Først som sidst åbner Wivel med meget personlige erindringsessays.
